We have known for a long time thatArelys Henao: I sing so as not to cry‘ would have a second part, after the success it meant in ratings for the chain Snail. However, everything indicates that this new opus would contain several changes, some of them at the casting level.
According to the journalist Carlos Ochoaknown as “The Television Bible”, which has now said “no” to the proposal was Youri Vargasassigned to play Yazmín, a woman who won the hearts of viewers because she became a friend and accomplice of the protagonist.
One of the reasons why the actress from Antioquia would have given up being in this production is that, apparently, she would be engaged on television in Mexico—where she is currently based—for a new season of ‘The Lord of heaven‘, series in which he recently worked.
In addition, the presenter also of Teleantiochy He pointed out that, according to what he managed to find out about it, there was another more enticing offer from a period production that would be recording these days in Colombia.
“The casting was opened to be Yazmín and replace Yuri. It seems that she really liked her participation in ‘El señor de los cielos’ and they asked her to stay (…) The new Yazmín must have a great paisa accent and following the same path as the character of Yuri, a great acting challenge”, he concluded Carlos Ochoa on the requirements that the next actress must fulfill who will give life to Arelys Henao’s friend.
The other actress who, according to journalist paisa, will not be in the second part of the telenovela inspired by the popular music singer is Mariana Gómez, the protagonist.
And though it’s been said that Valentina Lizcano would be responsible for taking on this challenge, according to journalist Carlos Ochoa who won the casting was Veronique Orozco.
“She will have to have the same hair as Arelys Henao (…) Let’s hope it’s a reality. Do you think she won because she is a good actress, a good singer and she matches the profile of the character?”, said the presenter of Teleantioquia.
Ochoa also claimed that, to be the protagonist of the second part of the telenovela on Arelys Henao, there were several well-known actresses who submitted casting calls, but did not meet the necessary requirements.
“They assure that several celebrities have done the casting. Carla Giraldo it seems he did but he didn’t stay; as Majida Issa, beautiful, sensual, talented and sings, but it is said that she did not stay. “Don’t dress up, you’re not going,” they told Valentina Lizcano, who I spoke with this week. No, my love, stay in Medellín because for now you will not return to the theater,” he added.
Finally, the communicator mentioned that the recordings of the new opus will begin in April 2023, which means that the rehearsals, the preparation of the costumes and the adaptation of the actors to their character should begin soon. However, there would be a difficulty in starting the project.
“They call on the actors (from the first season) to sign, but some say they know if they will be there or not (…) Will it affect or not? Will it manage to exceed the 15 points reached by the first installment of ‘Arelys Henao’? Do you like being with Verónica Orozco?” concluded Carlos Ochoa.
On social networks, viewers have made themselves known in this regard and, in large majority, warn that these changes will be momentous and could make the new bet a complete fiasco.
“It smacks of failure for me, but I hope it’s not that”, “It’s going to be very difficult to get used to the changes of two of the main characters” and “I don’t understand the urge to do the second part now, they might wait a bit to get the whole cast” are some of the comments that sparked the news.
